Mars is getting
ready to leave the sensitive water sign of Pisces and enter its home sign of
Aries on December 31, 2018, but before it does, it conjuncts Chiron in Pisces
on December 29, 2018. When Mars
conjuncts Chiron in Pisces, it can bring about a healing of our masculine side
so that we dissolve confusion about asserting ourselves without using force or
anger. With this conjunction in Pisces,
it will also help us acknowledge our vulnerability and hopefully act in a more
compassionate manner.
While Mars is
definitely more comfortable in the sign of Aries, there have been some perks to
having it in Pisces. Christmas week
featured Mars in Pisces trining the north node in Cancer. When Mars is favorably aspecting the nodes of
the moon (and if it was trining the north node in Cancer, it was also forming a
supportive sextile to the south node in Capricorn). The north node represents our future while the
south node represents our past. Mars favorably aspecting the nodes of the moon
can burn through the fog and open new doors that make it possible for frozen or
stuck family dynamics to melt and experience some genuine healing.
I don’t know
about you but I sensed a lighter vibration around Christmas this year. Maybe it was that Leo moon trining both
Mercury and Jupiter in Sagittarius, but it certainly felt more cheery. On Christmas Day I tweeted:
Communications should be smoother today with Leo moon trining Mercury in Sagittarius. Hopefully no family dramas just honest communication and fun. #astrology— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) December 25, 2018
Moon in Leo trining Jupiter in Sagittarius today adds to the holiday spirit with a desire for fun and good cheer. Enjoy the holiday and have a #MerryChristmas. #astrology— Linda Simons (@danceofphoenix) December 25, 2018
Mars will
enters Aries at 9:20 p.m. on December 31, 2018 in time to help us ring in the
new year of 2019. It will leave Aries on
February 14, 2019 and enter the Venus ruled sign of Taurus, which is very fitting
for Valentine’s Day.
Mars rules the
signs of Aries and Scorpio, so it will feel right at home in Aries. I was intrigued by the fact that the year
2018 began with Mars in Scorpio and ends in the sign of Aries. Do you think that the universe is trying to
tell us something? Mars will really be
feeling its oats in Aries as its power is boosted and the energy will be
spontaneous and forward looking. We may
also find ourselves feeling more courageous, competitive and
self-confident. But be aware that the
shadow side of Mars in Aries can lead to greater levels of impatience,
arrogance, impulsiveness and self-centeredness.
But it will start the New Year off with a welcome and much needed surge
of energy.
Capricorn
season will be even more intense when we experience the annual Sun Saturn
conjunction in 11 degrees of Capricorn on January 2, 2019. We already have the sun, Saturn and Pluto in
Capricorn, but when the sun conjuncts Saturn, Capricorn’s ruling planet, the
Capricorn energy will be amplified. When
the sun conjuncts Saturn, hard work, discipline and patience will be
required. This aspect can bring rewards
for hard work and recognition for previous efforts, but it can also bring
feelings of isolation, insecurity and hardship.
I’m just warning you that feelings of isolation might creep up on this
day as the structures of your life may require some attention.
I am all too
familiar with the nature of the sun conjunct Saturn, as I have it natally in my
chart. My Saturn is in the sign of Scorpio, but Saturn conjunct the sun has a
very Capricorn vibe. Saturn is in my 1st
house, and this has manifested for me in feeling restricted, being my own
harshest critic and having a shy and reserved personality. But it has also made me very conscientious and
responsible, so be aware that Saturn is not all bad. While it may have a very somber tone, it's also a very grounding influence.
If you are
curious as to how all of these planetary changes will be affecting you, please
consider getting an astrological reading. I am now offering short telephone astrology
consultations for 15 minutes or 30 minutes which are available for purchase on
the Services Offered page of my site. These are extremely affordable at the
cost of $25 or $35. I even offer the
option of tarot readings. There is something for everyone and my menu of
services can accommodate any budget.
My site also
offers the opportunity to provide a donation in the amount of your choice to
demonstrate your support for my blog and daily astrological insights on Twitter

A contribution in any amount is deeply
appreciated as gratitude is a daily part of my spiritual practice.
Recently I
undertook an intensive life purpose coaching training program and became
certified as a Life Purpose Coach. It
was an intense, eye-opening experience that changed my life as it caused me to
reflect on the story of my life. But I
left it with feelings of hope and light for the future that I want to share
with others. To that end, I am now
offering Life Purpose Coaching to my menu of services. You can read more about it at:
As an
astrologer, I have decided to include an interpretation of the north node by sign.
If you are feeling stuck and need some help in getting from Point A to Point B
in your quest for making positive changes in your life, please email me at lindasim54@gmail.com to schedule a
complementary telephone consultation to discover if you are a good fit for this
program. I look forward to hearing from
you.
If you are in
the Boston area, please consider getting a Reiki treatment at Acupuncture for
Everyone in Copley Square to destress, revitalize and remove blockages to
healing. It’s a perfect way to start
your weekend off and can also be described as a spa for the soul to boot! Reiki is the most profound treatment for
stress relief because it concentrates on CALMING your body.
For more information on my Reiki services,
please see this page on my site:
For my clients who can’t fit Friday into their
schedule for a treatment or have difficulty traveling, I have also recently
begun doing distance Reiki sessions for them.
I have a conversation with them about what they hope to achieve from a
session, we set up a time for the session to take place when they will be in a
state to receive healing energy and I follow up with a telephone conversation
to discuss their experience and my perception of their blockages. I have also incorporated a new technique with
my distance Reiki treatments since I don’t always have a photo of my
client. I use a teddy bear so that I can
scan and focus the healing energy where it is needed. If this appeals to you,
please feel free to contact me by email at lindasim54@gmail.com
or call me at 617-304-2205. I am also
offering Reiki treatments in the Coolidge Corner section of Brookline on Sunday
afternoons.
But the big news is that I have created and
launched a new website devoted exclusively to my Reiki practice. Please feel
free to check it out at:
I was also featured in the July 3, 2017 edition
of Boston Voyager, an online publication that runs a section called Inspiring
Stories about local entrepreneurs on its home page. The Scorpio moon was trining the Cancer sun
and Neptune in Pisces on that day, so my story certainly debuted under fitting
aspects. Please feel free to check it
out:
I have also revised my package deals and I am now
offering two options for package deals: Silver and a Tarot special for my tarot
clients. Please check it out at:

Happy New Year, everyone!
